We at The Whole Picture Company have invested in the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 Printer which is a professional quality A2+ printer that produces beautiful long lasting black and white or colour prints up to 17 inches wide and 37.4 inches long. It has been purchased to provide the photographer the service of a one off printing service. The 9 Epson UltraChrome K3 Inks including Vivid Magenta for bold colour images and Light Black and Light Light Black inks for subtle monochrome tones offer up to 200 years light fastness! The Photo Black and Matte Black ink cartridges auto switch depending on the print settings, ensuring the best quality output for the media in use. Thanks to its three cut-sheet paper paths the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 Printer can print onto a range of different media types including poster board up to 1.5mm think.
Hot Press HGP560 - August 2009
At The Whole Picture Company we have just taken delivery of the Hot Press HGP560 which replaces our smaller Hot Press HGP360. We are now able to press up to 50x98 inches. The Hot Press™ Heated Glass Top Vacuum Press is based on a patented, high tech heating system that has changed the way professionals dry mount. The top panel of the Heated Glass Top Vacuum Press is made up of two sheets of reinforced tempered glass. The inner surface of the lower sheet has an invisible conductive film embedded in it. A controlled electric current is passed through this conductive film creating a highly efficient heating system. A sensor on the glass monitors and controls the temperature by means of a digital thermostat. The glass is extremely smooth and scratch resistant.
We are still able to see the artwork as the transparent top panel allows the team to view the print during processing and correct mis-aligned work or folded back corners.
At TWPCo the Glass Top Press handles a wide range of materials from foam board and wood to photos, art prints and delicate fabrics. The Hot Press offers the ability to produce consistent, high quality results.
